Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 17 cm and one of its legs measures 13 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

13^2 + x^2 = 17^2

169 + x^2 = 289

289 - 169 = 120

x^2 = 120

$\sqrt{120} = 10.9544511501$

x = 11.0
